Hello, my name is Jacob Smith, I'm a French soldier in the great war. I've just been recently enlisted in the army. I'm going to kill some germans. i am twenty four. i have a beautiful girlfriend named sally. were suppost to getting married next spring. everyone says this war will be short, so i have no doubt that it will be over by then. i have many friends who are also going to the war. pracitally the whole neighborhood. i just was for us to get our land back. who do the germans think they are takeing OUR land and invadeing france. i cant wait to teach them a lesson.
Although i love france i wish to return home greatly. i miss eveything about it... my girlfriend sally, my mother, all my friends, even simple things such as going to the store. i want to win and get our land back and gain respect from those stupid germans, but i just dont know how much more of this i can take. bombs flying all around you, seeing your buddies die all around you, haveing little to no food, liveing in what any normal person would concider a hole.
The trenches are our home, although sometimes rat filled its our only safe place. the only place where we can relax.. well at least somwhat.
This was one of the first world war one posters from france. This poster calls for more troops. calling for soldiers for the land and thet sea. "armee de terre et armee de mer ordre de moblisation general " translated to english.. "order of moblisation general of earth and army of sea"
